Martha Troian - Media Indigena

Just a 20 minute drive west of Parliament Hill in the nation’s capital lies Beaver Pond, an old-growth forest that according to First Nations is of historic and spiritual significance.

Archeologists have found what is estimated to be a 10,000 year-old stone circle in Beaver Pond.

But according to reports, as of this morning the 1,100 hectare wilderness is being ‘clear-cut’ – all to make room for a new subdivision.
